Gravitation Theory: Relativity Theory
Scientific paper
We review the empirical predictions of general relativity in the light of the fact that the noninertialness of the observer has not been incorporated into this theory. The observations of the quantities related to the relativistic gravitational effects on the solar system lead to the conclusion that the measured values may depend on the state of motion of the observer, whether it is accelerated or not. However, the "slowing-down" effect of gravity on the observer's clock was not taken into account. The authors analyze the assumption which is used in order to explain the gravitational red-shift within the framework of general relativity; their conclusion is that it is not compatible with the "slowing-down" effect of gravity on cesium atomic-beam clocks. Finally, they show that the measurements of a very small perihelion anomaly and the difference of orbital period between the Newtonian prediction and that of relativistic theories of gravity involve the observation of almost the same quantities. The advantage of the planetary orbital period is that, with the promising development of future clocks, we may show that what is thought to be constant may on a fine scale be changing. The authors exemplify this possibility by obtaining the orbital period predicted by general relativity and that given within the framework of an alternative approach of gravity, which describes all the gravitational phenomena as viewed from inertial frames of reference.
